Note
Roth suggests that the scribe is the same as in "Nürnberg Germanisches Nationalmuseum Hs 27983" (will be added to database soon) who then would have made two/three transcriptions of the "Historia" in 1-2 years. An index with an overview about the contens of the "Gesta" and the "Historia" and their Christian interpretations is in the appendix of the "Gesta". (see Roth 2004, p.69)
